Synopsis

This book reveals secrets so shocking that they were suppressed when Anais Nin began publishing her diaries in 1966. The material, from "A Journal of Love", could not be published in Nin's lifetime for fear of offending the living. With the publication of "Henry and June", the world learned about Nin's scandalous affair with both Henry Miller and his wife June. Now, for the first time, Nin tells of regular incest with her father Joaquin Nin, a famous pianist; her simultaneous relationships with her husband, the analysts Otto Rank and Rene Allendym and the writer Antonin Artaud; of her love for her homosexual cousin Eduarso, and her desire for Ana Maria, another cousin.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

ANAÏS NIN was born in Paris in 1903 and moved to the USA at the age of eleven. She returned to Paris a decade later, by then married to Hugh Guiler, and studied psychoanalysis under Otto Rank. It was during this period that she started to write, and her first book, D.H. Lawrence: An Unprofessional Study, was published in 1932. She went on to write stories and a series of autobiographical novels (including Collages, A Spy in the House of Love and Under a Glass Bell) as well as her celebrated volumes of erotica, including Delta of Venus and Little Birds. Perhaps best known for her journals, which were published by Peter Owen and established her reputation, her personal life and loves have attracted considerable attention, partly through her association with Henry Miller and his wife, as documented in her 1931–32 diary, published as A Journal of Love, but also because for over a decade she was married to a second man, Rupert Pole, while remaining married to Guiler. Neither of whom found out until after her death in 1977.
